Incremental Software Loading via Code Update Loader

The patent extracts and identifies the specific code portions that differ between plugin versions, separating version-specific code from common code. When loading, the system extracts only the necessary version-specific code portions rather than loading entire duplicate copies of all code, thereby reducing loading time while maintaining full software functionality across versions.

The patent implements partial loading by loading only the necessary code portions required for the requested software version rather than loading all possible code. The system performs just enough loading action to satisfy the specific version requirement, avoiding excessive loading of redundant code, thus reducing loading time while preserving complete functionality for that version.

The patent performs preliminary actions by pre-organizing code into versioned packages with clear dependency relationships and version identifiers before runtime. The system pre-processes and structures the codebase into incremental units that can be efficiently loaded, which simplifies the runtime loading process despite the initial organizational complexity, ultimately improving processor usage efficiency.

The patent introduces an intermediary code update loader that manages the complexity of incremental loading by mediating between the request for specific software versions and the actual code loading process. This intermediary component handles the logic of identifying, selecting, and loading only the necessary incremental code portions, shielding the rest of the system from complexity while improving processor usage efficiency.
